New York, Dec. 16, Abolition of the bleacher seat the 25 cent seat is foreseen in the action of the National League favoring a reduction of the seats in this popular section of the baseball grand stand to a minimum. The owners are desirous of doing1 away entirely with the 25 cent Beats, it is explained, but in the cities where they have been a fixture for years the proposed change will have to be made gradually. In the New York and Brooklyn stands the 25 cent seats have already been reduced to a comparatively small number. Prior to adjournment yesterday the magnates of the National League, took further action for a- curtailment In operating expenses by recommending unanimously a retrenchment in players salaries.

Those players who have for the pari thre years enjoyed an Inflated compensation as a result of the Federal League war will be hit the hardest, it was stated. in the rules governing the world's series as proposed by August Herrmann and President Tener were recommended by the league. These include the provision thit the players of the two teams competing in the series receive a stipulated amount and that a per centage of the receipts be di-ided among the players on the other clubs finishing In the first de-vision of each league. By this plan, it was claimed. interest would be stimulated among the second division clubs in their efforts to finish "within the money." After the plan is drawn up in definite form it will be submitted for approval at a meeting of the two leagues.

This action will probably be taken in February. After a session lasting four days, the National League club owners ended their annual' meeting here last night. During the day President Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh club endeavored to get his brother club mag. nates to agree to a reorganization of the. National Commission.

He based his plea upon the outcome of the Slsler case and claimed that the commission should be made non-partisan by appointing some person unidenti-1 fled with baseball as chairman in place of Garry Herrmann, of Cincin- nati. Chairman Herrman, in reply, stated that he waa willing to resign the commission if such a change would benefit organized baseball, but all those present except Dreyfuss declar-J ed they did not desire any change in the personnel of the supreme court of baseball, and the subject, which had caused much comment and conjecture during the week was dropped there.

Coach Jourdet Expects Even Faster Five Than Last Year's I nter c'o 1 1 egiate Champions McNichol Is Captain. Philadelphia, Dec. 16. Coach Lon Jourdet. of the champion Penn basketball quintet has picked his team for the great battles In the Intercollegiate Lft'aguer, and his live i is even faster than last season's cian and the 1916 team captured the championship after a play-off of the tie with Princeton.

Lou Martin, the star forward, who made the Ail-American, cannot play until after New Years, and Billy Williamson was graduated, so it is up to Jourdet to develop 'wo forwards. Johnny Lavan, of Philadelphia, and 'Hobey" Light, the football player, at' present appear to have the posts won. but Light is going to California with the football team and will miss all thS training until Janu-tiary 6. i Captain McNichol. the Ail-American guard of cage lore, will again lead the Penn five.

He is without a doubt the best guard ever developed at Penn, if not in the college game. He was second high scorer last season and y.et was a guard. Karl Emery, a fleet footed sopohomore. will play the other guard post. This lad has shown wonderful form in the practice matches with the scrub.

-He will replace Jones, the 1915 guard, Who wai graduated. Art Jeffords, of Philadelphia, will again jump center, for the Red and Blue. Jeffords is not a star at leaping, but the instant the ball has been put into play th.re is not a center in the college league who classes with the strong Philadelphlan. The Penn schedule includes Muh-lenburg, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, Swarthmore, Princeton, Rutgers, Yale. C.

N. Syracuse and Rochester. PUBLICITY MAN SUESMR.KAUFF Legal and Press Agent Says He Has Coin Coming From Modest Benjamin Wants Three Hundred Simoleons. New York, Dec. 16.

Last winter Benny Kauff remained In New York and got all sorts of publicity, much of it detailing what Benjamin Intended to do to the opposing pitchers of seven National League clubs. This, winter Benny intended to remain in New York, but has decided to seek the cuietness of East Liverpool. So he has hied himself to Ohio for a quiet winter. Now it appears that" Benny is to escape the publicity. He has been made defendant In a suit for $300 brought by Louis Cohen, who was chief adviser to Benny in the stormy' days he was hopping from the Brooklyn Federals to the Giants and then back again.

Kauff was served with a summons to answer In the municipal court for 300. His attorney, John M. Ward, has filed a. demurrer to the summons and it is possible that Kauff may remain undisturbed in his Ohio home until he leaves for Marlln Springs. Cohen alleges that he" was to receive $500 for acting as' manager and press agent for the player, Cohen, admits that Benny gave him $200 for services, but neglected to kick in with the remaining $800.

The rules forbid Hoyt working with Hartford without signing "a contract and McGraw consented to his' putting his i F'snature to the document. It developed later that "Clarkin was making claim to Hoyt and refused to give" him up on the strength or tne 1 lartrord contract. Mo-Ciraw and the Olnnls' owners got after Clarkin and finally released Hoyt.

16. A game with Colgate, -to be played on Sohoellkopf Field, Ithaca, on October 20, is the big new feature on the Cornell football schedule announced the athletic management. This contest will be the first between the two universities since 191S, and it promises to become one of the most interesting and popular games on the schedule. It will prove one of the biggest football battles of the year in up-state New York and is expected to prove Just as big a drawing card. In former years when Cornell met Colgate the game was usually given a very early date, often the first or second contest on the schedule, but Cornell's experience then and- Colgate's rise to heights In eastern foot Life's a funny I PROPOSITION after all.

"It's a long time from nuts to suop," said John Bater, as he was en-Joying a fine game dinner the. other night at The Rathbun, the guest of Grant DeVed and' Banker John Bennett.

"You mean "'soup to' said Ollie Elsenhart. "No I don't, "said Bater. "I'm referring to the long time from one good dinner to another." SET 'EM UP AGAIN. George, the blonde bartender at The Rathbun, rushed to Jack Rowlands and hollered, "Give me a ham sandwich." "Yes sir," said Jack. "Will you eat it here or take it with you." "Both," replied Georgie smilingly.

16. Having no place else to i go, Joe Tinker, deposed Cub manager, probably will head toward the minors. Just what direction he will 'start is a question, but a well-grounded report has it that the old Chicago favorite would make his next start as manager of the Columbus American Association team. It is said that negotiations -are under way. and if Tinker lands the post the team will be used as a farpi for surplus Cub talent.

A rival for the position is Larry Lajoie, the great slugger, who has gone over the hill. Connie. Mack already has promised the old Frenchman his unconditional release if he wishes to take a flyer at the managerial end of the game among the small fry. DISCUSS SALARY CUTS. A few of the American League magnates who were in the city to attend the annual league meeting Thursday were still on the job last night.

President s. Johnson, with Harry Frazee, the new Boston owner; Clark Griffith of Washington, Phil Ball of St. Louis, Jim Dunn of Cleveland and Charles Comiskey of the White Sox held an Impromptu gathering, but would not comment upon what was discussed. The ouestlon of a cut in war-time salaries was discussed at the meeting of the magnates here, but one of the owners declared that nothing was done. It wras felt, advisable to leave the matter of cutting salaries to the various owners themselves.

It was declared that the only cuts to be made were in cases where the players are not delivering the goods. GRIND FOR CYCLISTS BEGINS EARLY MONDAY New York, Dec. 16. One minute after the clock strikes 12 and sounds the parting knell of the coming Sabbath or, in other words. 60 seconds after midnight of next Sunday the annual six-day bicycle orgy is scheduled to begin in the well-known Madison Suare Garden in the notorious borough of Man-nattan.

One that this year's renewal of the six-day bike race is the 24th event of its kind to be perpetrated in or on New York. For those who like that sort of thing the New York version of the six-day grind is undoubtedly the sort of thing they will like. Anyway, such races as these serve the useful purpose of informing old Mr. Public that there are such things as leg-driven bikes still left in the world. fielding the position, and as a hitter it is only necessary to refer to his records in the National and International Leagues.

Being tied for the leadership of the Barrow circuit with another player and hitting for .344 in 127 games is proof enough of Holke's ability. Going through the big minor league at that clip is sufficient evidence that 'his work in 34 games in the National Ieague, in which he hit for .351, was no flash in the pan. SKATES SKATES, 50c up.
